Student Ministry Fall Retreat: The Running Father

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” – Luke 15:20

Description

Have you ever felt far away from God—like you were a long way off from where you should be? In those times it can be hard to know how to come home, hard to know if God would want us to come back at all.

But the passage of Scripture that we’ll be studying on our retreat, the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), shows us that we have a Heavenly Father who runs to meet us where we are. Even when we’re at our lowest, He loves us and longs for us to receive His embrace.

From November 10-12 we’ll be leaving behind phones, school, and distractions as we seek the Father together. Through community, prayer, rest, music, epic games, and teaching from our Rector, Fr. Paul, we will experience what it means to receive the love of our Running Father!
